Getting started
For getting started with Isabelle quickly, we recommend the Tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (in an earlier version published by Springer Verlag as LNCS 2283) and the course material.
Mailing lists and FAQ
You may use the user mailing list {isabelle-users} AT [cl.cam.ac.uk] and its archive to discuss problems and results. Why not subscribe?
Please consult the FAQ for answers to frequent problems.
Advanced users may also profit from the developer mailing list {isabelle-dev} AT [in.tum.de]; subscribe, archives: [ official, mail-archive.com, gmane.org ]
Course material and exercises
The course material page makes slides, demos, and exercises of a growing number of Isabelle courses available. It is meant as a resource for people who would like to learn Isabelle as well as for those who would like to teach it.
Project partners
Isabelle is a joint project between Larry Paulson (University of Cambridge, UK) and Tobias Nipkow (Technische Universität München, Germany).
Both sites employ numerous activities around Isabelle; for details, have a look at the local websites in Cambridge and Munich; there is also an (incomplete) list of past and present projects undertaken using Isabelle.

The Archive of Formal Proofs (AFP)
The Archive of Formal Proofs is a collection of proof libraries, examples, and larger scientific developments, mechanically checked in Isabelle. It is organized in the way of a scientific journal. Submissions are refereed.
Add-on tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| I3P | I3P stands for »Interactive Interface for the Isabelle Prover«. Its aim is to enhance the user experience by employing standard widgets and well-known UI metaphors. On the architectural side, it is built to be extensible and emphasizes the use of design patterns. |
| AWE extensions pack | This provides facilities to establish morphisms between theories, allowing the interpretation of logical entities from one theory to another. |
| HOL-TestGen | HOL-TestGen HOL-TestGen is an environment for model-based Test-Generation. Models for unit-, sequence and reactive-sequence test scenarios can be written in HOL and tests are generated automatically. |
| HOL-OCL | HOL-OCL is an interactive proof environment for the Object Constraint Language (OCL). It is implemented as a shallow embedding of OCL into HOL. It provides mechanisms to read UML Class Diagrams (edited with ArgoUML), to annotate them with OCL, and to produce proofs compliant to the semantics UML/OCL 2.0. For Isabelle2005 only. |
| HOL-Z | HOL-Z is a proof environment for Z. It allows for importing Z specifications written in LaTeX and type-checked by the Java-based ZeTa-System. HOL-Z then allows for the formal analysis of such specifications, in particular data refinement proofs. For Isabelle2005 only. |
| HOL-Boogie | HOL-Boogie is an interactive back-end for the Boogie program verifier and, in particular, may be used to proof verification conditions arising from C programs. |
| Haskabelle | Haskabelle is a converter from Haskell source files to Isabelle/HOL theories implemented in Haskell itself. This is part of the Isabelle distribution. |
